Curated by Michael Kerker, the performances highlight "the breadth and depth of the past century of musical theatre with each night of the celebration focusing on a certain era from the last 100 years," according to press notes.

The event kicks off Nov. 16 with a concert focusing on works relating to Broadway Today and Tomorrow. The Nov. 17 performance will feature works from the years 1914-1938, to be followed Nov. 18 with songs from “The Golden Era” of Broadway (1939-1963). Selections from the 1964-1988 era will be highlighted Nov. 20; with the final night of the celebration, Nov. 21, focusing on selections from 1989-2013.

Performers include Klea Blackhurst, Shelly Burch, Corey Cott, Jason Graae, Kara Lindsay, Jessica Phillips, Tony nominee Ron Raines, pianists Ben Rauhala, Matt Baker and John Boswell and jazz violinist and arranger Aaron Weinstein.

Attendees can expect to hear works by composer and lyricist John Bucchino, Martin Charnin, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, Donald Pippin, Sam Willmott and Amanda Yesnowitz and Deborah Abramson.
